High Scalability and Flexibility
- Provides high scalability in an ultra-dense, 1U, 64-port switch to support high-density server virtualization, cloud architectures, and flash-based storage environments
- Enables “pay-as-you-grow” scalability -with 24 to 64 ports- for on-demand flexibility
-
High Performance
- Increases performance for demanding workloads across 32 Gbps links and shatters application performance barriers with up to 100 million IOPS
- Leverages IO Insight intelligence to identify issues and understand key performance, health, and utilization trends, ensuring consistent performance
- Increases resiliency by automatically discovering and recovering from device or network errors
-
User-Centered Design
- Provides proactive, non-intrusive, realtime monitoring and alerting of storage IO health and performance with IO Insight, the industry’s first integrated network sensors
- Leverages Brocade Fabric Vision technology to simplify administration, quickly resolve problems, increase uptime, and reduce costs
- Simplifies troubleshooting with realtime and historical visibility in a single dashboard
Tech Specs
Fibre Channel ports |
Switch mode (default): Minimum of 24 ports and maximum of 64 ports configuration. Port numbers above minimum are enabled through 12-port SFP+ increments via Ports on Demand (PoD) licenses and through one 4-port QSFP PoD, providing 16-port increments through a Q-Flex license; E_Ports, F_Ports, D_Ports,EX_Ports. Brocade Access Gateway default port mapping: 40 SFP+ F_Ports, 8 SFP+ N_Ports |
